Handsome Steve's House of Refreshment

I'm a little hesitant to post about this, because it's a bar that I love that's hard to get to and quirky as hell, but won't work if we all flock there at once.

So what is Handsome Steve's House of Refreshment all about? Well, let's start off with what it's not about:

Now there are cafes anywhere you can squeeze one in. There’s even franchised chains. They’re even on fucking wheels. And they’re all shit. The people that work these places are like cardboard boxes on legs. Do they speak? Where’s the personality of the owner? Is there a warehouse somewhere they can buy the identical fitout? None of them come close to the timeless beauty of the Wog Bar. Coffee, Beer, Snack. T.V. What more do you need? Not a low fat muffin in sight.
